Energy Modeling for ENERGY STAR Certification
Professional Energy Modeling for ENERGY STAR Certification
Are you looking to reduce energy costs and increase property value through ENERGY STAR certification? InversEnergy provides expert energy modeling services to help multifamily buildings achieve ENERGY STAR certification, and commercial new construction earn Designed to Earn ENERGY STAR recognition, efficiently and cost-effectively.
ENERGY STAR is fully funded for 2026 and is moving from EPA to the U.S. Department of Energy. Certification continues.
Why Choose Energy Modeling for ENERGY STAR Certification?
Energy modeling is the cornerstone of successful ENERGY STAR certification for multifamily new construction projects. Our comprehensive modeling services evaluate your building's energy performance against rigorous standards, identifying opportunities for improvement and documenting compliance.
Three Pathways to ENERGY STAR Certification Success
Multifamily building developers and owners can pursue ENERGY STAR certification through three distinct pathways. Buildings permitted on or after January 1, 2026 follow Revision 05 of the Multifamily New Construction program, under which townhouses certify through the Single-Family New Homes program instead:
- ERI Path: Precise Unit-by-Unit Analysis
- Utilizes approved rating tool software to determine energy savings on a unit-by-unit basis
- Measures performance against the ERI target (or Title 24 compliance in California)
- Implements a prescriptive package of EPA-developed energy efficiency measures in common spaces
- Benefits: Detailed analysis of individual units, precise savings calculations
- ASHRAE Path: Whole-Building Performance Optimization
- Leverages approved energy modeling software to calculate energy cost savings
- Compares building's energy-efficient design against ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G, 2016 or later edition (or Title 24 in California)
- Benefits: Comprehensive approach to whole-building energy efficiency
- Prescriptive Path: Streamlined Compliance
- Follows a standardized package of energy efficiency measures developed by the EPA
- Simplifies the certification process through predefined requirements
- Note: Not available for projects in California
- Benefits: Straightforward implementation, reduced complexity
Expert ASHRAE Path Energy Modeling Services
InversEnergy is proudly listed in the ASHRAE Modeler Directory as a qualified ASHRAE Path Energy Modeler. Our team has completed the rigorous ENERGY STAR MFNC online orientation program, ensuring we follow best practices and current requirements for your certification project.
Designed to Earn ENERGY STAR for Commercial New Construction
Commercial projects in design can earn Designed to Earn ENERGY STAR recognition when the energy model predicts an ENERGY STAR score of 75 or higher in Portfolio Manager. We model the design, enter it as a design project in Portfolio Manager, and prepare the Statement of Energy Design Intent (SEDI) submitted to ENERGY STAR with the application.
Why ENERGY STAR Certification Matters
- Reduced Operating Costs Lower energy consumption means lower utility bills
- Enhanced Property Value Certified buildings command higher sale and rental prices
- Environmental Leadership Demonstrate commitment to sustainability
- Competitive Advantage Stand out in a crowded market
- Regulatory Compliance Meet or exceed energy code requirements

Our energy modeling services extend beyond ENERGY STAR certification to include:
- LEED Certification support
- Energy Code Compliance documentation
- C-PACE Energy Assessment
- Utility Incentives optimization
- 179D Tax Incentives qualification
- Energy Star SEDI Score calculation
